Wanted: Kids to test toys
UPDATE: Thanks for everyone who volunteered! We’ve drawn the names of our testers and notified the parents.
We’re working on a big toy issue for Lifestyle magazine, but we need to call in the experts. If your child loves to play with new toys and share his or her opinions, we’ve got a job for you!
We are looking for a dozen or so toy testers of various ages to try out some of the most popular toys of the upcoming holiday season. Our toy extravaganza will be on Saturday, Nov. 15 from 10 a.m. to noon. So, if you and your child are available, send me an email with your child’s name, age, gender, hometown and a contact phone number.
They will be featured in our story, and every child will get to pick a toy to take home — for FREE! Now that’s the best way to kick off holiday shopping.

My grandaughter is 5 and a kindergarden student. She’s very girly-girl, and pretty verbal, when she’s not feeling too shy.
I bet she’d love an opportunity like this.
